Propaganda is a picture that makes you proud of your country off fighting. It can also be a picture that makes you hate the country that your countey is fighting and makes you want to go fight. Art is just a picture the someone draws or paints for no purpose other than for pleasure or to sell. I think that Guernica is art because it is what Picasso sees in the war, I think that what is in the picture is what the war looks like through his eyes.

In the picture I see a number of people, all of them have a hurt or sad look on their face. I see a horse and a bull that are eather in pain or dead so I can assume that many animals died durring this war. Everything looks verry disorganised and hecktic because there were bombs constantly going off. The picture as a whole has very dark colors to is so this must have been a very sad time.

The bombing of Guernica was when the Germans and Italians arial attacked Guernica. Guernica is a town in Spain, the attacks happened in 1937, durring the Spanish Civil war. By the end of the bombings, there were 1,654 dead (a third of the population) and 889 wounded.
